I’m not crazy about the length either, but I think she looks great nonetheless. I wasn’t crazy about this dress on the runway, but I kinda like it on Maggie, even though I’ve wished that it would’ve been a tad shorter.

I love her from the waist up but that knitted skirt is awful. Taking it into hideous territory is the ruffle/peplum. The close up photo reveals it is crocheted. It looks like my grandma’s teapot covers have been recycled and called high fashion.

Her hair and make up look amazing and I don’t totally hate this because she’s usually wearing something shapeless and beige. At least this is sort of interesting. Plus I think about how it would be some other actresses, i.e. Jennifer Lawrence and then it’s really not so bad.

The dress is a bit tricky but it’s interesting and original, so chic on the model, Maggie is simply not selling it, she looks plain mumsy with that length, dull pumps, and hairstyle, and I don’t think she has the right attitude for it.

I just want to burn her shoes…pleasepleaseplease Maggie, no more black pumps. You can do better than that. They’ll drag down almost everything you wear, unless you’re intentionally trying to look like a secretary. Also, this was not the dress to pair with natural makeup. A bold lip or eye shadow color would have helped the look live up to its runway counterpart.
